Engaging work with a disorganized product team - Software Engineer Nexo Employee Review

Flexible working hours and work from home

Toxic environment, management and coleagues

Great team environment – I feel lucky to be surrounded by talented, ambitious, and supportive colleagues who are always willing to share their knowledge. I’ve also made real friends here, not only within my team. Competitive salaries and strong bonus system – every year bonuses are distributed, including in Nexo Tokens, which gives employees the chance to directly benefit from the company’s growth. Excellent benefits – unlimited free food and drinks in the office (it feels like a supermarket), 150 BGN monthly budget to spend on thousands of lifestyle, sport, culture, and hobby options, plus significant discounts through promo codes from partner companies and brands. Clear opportunities for professional growth – if you put in the effort and deliver results, your work is recognized and rewarded.

Backend developers must participate in 24/7 on-call shifts. The frequency depends on team size, but the compensation for these shifts is relatively low regardless of whether an incident occurs. Limited work-from-home flexibility – the number of days allowed per month depends on your performance in the previous quarter, with a maximum of four. If performance is below expectations, office presence is mandatory. This wouldn’t be a big issue, but the office location can be inconvenient. Heavy monitoring of metrics – sometimes it feels necessary to adapt your work not to deliver the best results, but to make the numbers look good.
